Diary 10/10

It's coming up on week 8 and FT weekend. As usual, I do not look forward to the joy of sitting in my classes for three hours each trying to give the impression of interest in the lectures. Oh well, why complain (then again why not?) it's only once a semester and I only have one to go after this is over.

Today I harvest what is left of the garden. The temperature will be 78 so we plan to get all of the yard work done. My first order of business is the garden. I am going to uproot everything except the asparagus which will FINALLY be ready to eat next year (I think I told you it takes three years to grow). I have lots of tomatoes green and red that I will be dispersing to friends and family. I will also be making some tomato basil bisque today - YUM! Once I am done uprooting the final items I will turn over the dirt and prepare it for next years harvest. This is the first years I have done this. I am hoping this preparation will make next years harvest more bountiful and healthy. Then comes the weeding, mowing of the lawn, seeding of spotty areas in the grass around the house etc. I expect we'll be outside at least three hours.

Later this evening I'll be having my 2nd Skype meeting with my TLC group. Did I tell you that the first meeting went well? if not, it did. I must say I did not expect anything from the PITA but she stepped up to the plate with good ideas and was very interactive. She probably read my blog and knew that her review from me was about to be s#$%. Thankfully, we might be a good team after all.

I'll keep you informed. 872
